Divorce

In general, how long a divorce case will take depends upon the issues that are in dispute. If both spouses agree as to all the financial and parenting aspects of the case, including how to divide up any assets and debts of the marriage and all custody and visitation matters, the case may be relatively quick, taking a few months. However, the more complicated the financial arrangements are and the more complicated that the issues regarding children and other issues are, the likelihood is that the case may take longer. Especially if the parties don’t agree on the issues, and the case needs to go to trial in front of a judge, divorce cases can last for a year or more. To get specific advice about your case and how long it may take, you may want to consult with a lawyer. On our website you can find free and also paid lawyers in your state.
